Alexander McQueen Silver Fox

Oh Boy. This silver fox hand woven tweed vest from Alexander McQueen's Autumn/Winter 2011 collection is simply too amazing for words. The hourglass silhouette, the fox fur trim on all the right edges...it's all to die for. In fact, it's quite perfect. Aaaaaand it ain't cheap. At $11,220 one is simply acknowledging the superior origins of the silver fox, and paying to look simply perfect...Available at Luisaviaroma

The Duchess of Cambridge and Her Royal Red Carpet

...So after all the pomp of THAT breathtaking royal wedding I promised myself I wouldn't be writing anymore about the most talked about Royal couple of our generation, mostly because every media outlet, fashion site, newspaper, magazine, etc. has taken it upon themselves to bombard, er provide, us with continuous around the clock coverage of every single move the quintessentially perfect Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, aka Prince William and Kate Middleton to those of us who knew them when, have made since they became royally engaged. In fact William and Kate's most recent tour of Canada  demonstrated how the world is utterly obsessed with the royal couple's ease and poise, and of course most of all with Kate's wardrobe choices. Since her engagement Kate has upped her sometimes old fashioned mumsy elegance to a more youthful and fashionable sensibility. Particularly understated and utterly perfect was Kate's choice of a diaphanous Alexander McQueen gown for the Duke and Duchess' high profile BAFTA 'Brits To Watch' event in Los Angeles yesterday. It was the big celebrity event where chosen taut and awe-struck A-listers got the chance to mingle and share their wisdom with the famous Royal couple. Also in attendance were Nicole Kidman's fake lips, Jennifer Lopez's tacky display of flesh, and Blake Lively (who invited her?)...
Well done Kate, keep outshining those plastic Hollywood types. Goodbye awful clunky black satin heels, hello nude leather L.K. Bennetts!
